\ (jws) To make a prefix, simply create a new definition in the <prefixes> 
\ wordlist. start-prefixes and end-prefixes handle the bookkeeping

\ define " (double-quote) as an alias for s", and make it a prefix
: " postpone s" ; immediate


\ make .( a prefix (we just create an alias for it in the prefixes list)
: .( postpone .( ; immediate


\ make \ a prefix, and add // (same thing) as a prefix too
\ (jws) "//" is precompiled to save aggravation with Perl
\ : // postpone \ ; immediate


\ ** add 0b, 0o, 0d, and 0x as prefixes 
\ ** these temporarily shift the base to 2, 8, 10, and 16 respectively
\ ** and consume the next number in the input stream, pushing/compiling
\ ** as normal

\ (jws) __tempbase is precompiled, as are 0x and 0d - see prefix.c
